10 facts about Jackie Chan

  • Jackie Chan does all the amazing, breathtakingly intricate elements in his action movies himself. The actor has never used the services of a stuntman since the very beginning of his career – he even performs in this role for other fellow actors.

  • Jackie learned the ability to control his body at a school in the Chinese Institute where they taught martial arts.

  • One of the most memorable stunts Chan ever performed was a jump from a height of 70 meters (the roof of a shopping mall).

  • The movie “The Armor of God” was remembered by the audience for its fascinating plot and, of course, Jackie’s tricks, due to which the actor seriously injured his head. He was sent to the hospital for some time, but apparently a long rest was not part of the actor’s plans. He returned to the set with new ideas, one of which was the participation of a real leopard. The beast turned out to be completely hostile to the martial artist. According to eyewitnesses, the leopard started hunting the actor. Fortunately, the tragedy was averted.

  • Jackie Chan has created an image for himself as a fearless and courageous action hero, but there is something that he is terribly afraid of – injections.

  • Chan inherited acting talent from his mother, who often performed with theater troupes.

  • When Jackie was seven, his parents abandoned him and sent him to a specialized boarding school.

  • The famous actor speaks seven languages.

  • Jackie Chan has hardly played any negative character since the beginning of his career.
